Anyone who believes that "AI" is a real thing that serves a function, should be instantly disqualified from government service. This includes Mark Carney.

The minor harm of this is all that money will come directly out of real public services, which Carney is cutting across the board. The major harm is that, since he is paying for "AI" products, there is a severe risk someone, somewhere in the government, will actually use them. The potential harms of THAT are unbounded

Called it. Canadian Federal Government partners with Cohere to build out AI in the public service. Cohere is 75% behind on their published revenue targets for this year. Here comes the government to bail them out. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/artificial-intelligence-public-service-cohere #cdnpoli

@mcc In the same way that a big company buys AI to justify job cuts, a government buys AI as a means of denying benefits. It doesn't have to work, all it has to do is turn down some claimants so that they have to go through whatever appeals process may still be allowed, always in the face of "computer says no".
